VOLTFIELD is a neon arcade game about taking ground back, made in the spirit of the old classics Qix and Volfied. You fly a small ship along the edge of a grid. Swipe to turn. The ship never stops. Leave the safe edge and you draw a live wire behind you. Close the loop, and everything you cut off is yours. Enemies hunt your wire. One touch and the run is over. Claim enough and the exit gate opens. Leave, or keep carving for more stars. The enemies get angrier the deeper you cut. THE GRID • 100 handmade levels across 10 sectors • Burning walls, moving fire bars, rotors, arc gates, and currents that push your ship • 10 boss fights against the Wardens, each in its own arena • Boosters: homing bolt, pulse bomb, mines, ghost wire, breaker, overdrive DAILY VOLT • One new field every day, the same for every player • 3 attempts. Carve as much as you can, every percent counts • Share your result and challenge friends on Game Center leaderboards All graphics, sound and music are generated by code. No ads.
